Good news! As from today, SpeedScriber minutes are now half the original price at US$0.25/minute. If you purchase from our reseller Paddle at app.speedscriber.com/buy-minutes then further discounts are available for purchases of 5 hours or more.

We didn’t want anyone feeling frustrated with the new pricing if they had only recently purchased minutes. So as a gesture of goodwill, anyone who purchased at the original price after 1st October 2025 has received a matching amount of free bonus minutes.
